Oh Boy! A short video that talks about math, science and scale. This video is the most recent podcast from the "Best of Youtube" series. It's an educational video that discusses the "Power of Ten" in magnification and distance. Multiple a single meter by the power of ten over and over again and you zoom way out of our galaxy. Going back the other direction, you end up hovering of a single proton.
I love the effortlessly confident teaching style of this video. I love the production value of it and the hypnotic feel of the "zoom out" section. I love being reminded of our size, relative to the larger world around us.
And for me, this reaffirms my own atheism. There just isn't room in this video for the existence of a God or a Heaven. Nor is there really a need for either of them. What you see is what you've got to work with. Everything else is just a beautiful fiction.
Your experience with the material may vary.
Anyways, check it out. It's "The Power of Ten."
